Shoes this fall are bold and daring. Whether they are flats, wedges or stilettos, or strappy, zippered or studded, they don't just sit there quietly waiting to be noticed. They distinctly shout, "Look at me!"

These new styles can instantly update a wardrobe, making even old staples feel new. Among the most prominent trends: ankle boots, punky metal decorations and the color red.
